Earthy-Citrus-Diesel…that best describes the combination of our most intense hops in this boldly flavored double IPA. Firm bitterness partners with a pungent array of hoppy notes – cannabis, blueberries, passionfruit, and candied grapefruit.

Hops: Chinook, Simcoe, Comet, Simcoe Cryo, Eureka!

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Look: Nearly clear medium-dark orange with a lacey head that quickly subsides to a lid, leaving good lacing behind
Aroma: Cara Cara oranges, strawberries, blueberries, Cannabis, sweet Hawaiian bread-like malt notes, and Lemon Drop candy
Taste: Lemon Drop candy, oranges, pink grapefruit, and berries come on strong at first and quickly following are waves of Cannabis terpenes – diesel, wafts of pineapple, and resinous Cannabidaceae flowers. A slight bite and mild astringency follow that terpene wave before fruit rejoins to close it out, along with a true hop bite
Mouthfeel: Full, slightly slick, medium-high carbonation, and medium dryness on the finish
Overall: This is tasty stuff right here. I’m a fan of what these folks do with hops – even their hazies, which I am not usually a fan of style-wise, so glad to have the gift of this single from my dad and it wasn’t a let down. Lots of citrus/berry/Cannabis going on and feels big but hides it’s 8.6% well. Another delicious treat from this ‘IPA Factory’ series
